Yeppers Stix m8,

You're gonna have to learn the hard way me thinks.
First up get the misses to do the shopping. Secondly remove all temptation, that will have to include your "for fun" bank i'm afraid, at least for a while. When you find yourself walking away with a very large bank then maybe go back to it.

Another way i find to really ******** myself off is to count several times the amount i have won after each win, removing the original stake. Then after having a silly punt, i look down to see my pile of crisp shiny $50's or $20's diminishing and it really ********es me off. I learnt pretty quickly after that happened a coupla times!
